I still remember discussing this new fangled Nintendo console with the weird buttons on the sides of the controllers with my classmates - doesn't mean it's not now old ;) Seriously though I can see where you're coming from completely because I feel a bit weird calling the PS2 retro, but I think we need keep in mind that even "modern" titles like Final Fantasy X are now over a decade old at this point. I think we need to keep re-evaluating our definition, I'd much rather feel a bit weird welcoming "new" consoles to the retro fold instead of being stuck with some arbitrary "Well this was called retro when I learnt what retro was so I'm sticking to this" divide. |

I know :) Just means that it's something I grew up with. In all honesty, I'm glad I grew up with the consoles I had at the time I was growing, rather than PS3's and Wii U's. These past 6 years just flew... |

For me I would have to say that my favorite retro consoles are: 1). Atari 2600 - Brings me back to when I was a kid and me and my best friend use to play Pitfall, Stampede, Yars Revenge, ETC.. 2). ColecoVision / ADAM - My first major purchase that I bought with my own hard earned money was the ADAM computer, I then Bought a ColecoVision Because I got tired of dragging the computer down stairs when family came over to play. Also just discovered that my parents just threw out my ADAM computer out when they moved. I had packed it in the original box and all :'( 3). NES - Just great memories of me and my son playing to the wee hours of the night. Some great bonding moments cuz technically he is my step son, but we have such a great bond now that even after me and his mom divorced we still have a great bond and I am still his dad. |

If I ever have the money, I'm buying a vectrex. My friend had one when I was younger, but dismissed it over other consoles. Looking back, I wish I spent more time with that beast :( Never judge a book by its cover is what I learned that day... |
